Victor Mitchell (author)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A biography of a living person (presumably) whose identity is the subject of speculation. The only source provided is the honorverse wiki, a clear failure of reliable sources. May be the creator of several out-of-print colouring books - but I don't see evidence that this is the same man. Fails WP:BIO. Victoriagirl (talk) 14:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Oppose And what about the list of books he illustrated and the story he wrote? This is no mistake. The only thing I agree with is that it is unusual to have a line stating that something is in process of verification. :) Debresser (talk) 20:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I see no evidence that the subject "has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject", as called for in WP:BIO. Indeed, I see no evidence that the co-author of a short story and the colouring book artist are the same individual. Concerning the issue of verification - which is an aside not mentioned in the nom - would to not be better to have such a thing accomplished before introducing the article? We are, after all dealing here with a WP:BLP. Victoriagirl (talk) 21:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
